I have a version printed by Marshall of Newcastle c1800 in The Newcastle Songster, a chapbook of 16 well-known Tyneside songs. All of the versions I have access to have pretty much the same text, 5 sts and chorus as already given. Of the 20 or so publications I have with it in, all derive from print sources, and I'd guess it wasn't popular in oral tradition until the current revival started. It was published in Catcheside-Warrington's second volume of 4 and would have become popular on Tyneside due to this. It was published in nearly all of the Tyneside Songsters but this is a print tradition rather than reflective of oral tradition.
